  SAP Error Message: VPK1360
  Text: The costs have been recalculated due to changes in Customer Project
  
  Cause:
  This message occurs in the context of Customer Projects (often in the Project System (PS) or Customer Service (CS) modules) when there is a change in the project data that affects cost calculations. Specifically:
  
  The system detects that the costs originally calculated for a project or a project-related document (e.g., a sales order, billing document, or service order) have changed because the underlying customer project data was modified.
  Changes could be related to project structure, project status, cost elements, or other master data that influence cost calculation.
  As a result, the system automatically recalculates the costs to reflect the updated project information.
  
  This message is informational but can appear as a warning or error depending on the process and configuration.
  
  When does it typically occur?
  
  When you change the Customer Project assignment in a sales order or service order.
  When project master data (e.g., WBS elements, network activities) is updated after costs have been planned or posted.
  During billing or settlement processes where costs are recalculated based on the latest project data.
  When cost planning or actual cost postings are adjusted due to project changes.
  
  
  Solution / How to handle it:
  
  
  Review the changes made to the Customer Project:
  
  Check what modifications were done to the project master data or assignment.
  Verify if these changes are valid and intended.
  
  
  
  Check the cost recalculation:
  
  Review the recalculated costs to ensure they are correct.
  Use transaction codes like CJ20N (Project Builder) to inspect project data.
  Use cost reports or settlement reports to verify cost postings.
  
  
  
  Adjust documents if necessary:
  
  If the recalculated costs cause inconsistencies or errors downstream (e.g., in billing), you may need to adjust the sales order, service order, or billing document accordingly.
  Re-run cost planning or settlement if required.
  
  
  
  Communicate with controlling/project accounting:
  
  Inform the controlling or project accounting team about the changes and recalculations.
  Ensure that the financial impact is understood and properly documented.
  
  
  
  Preventive measures:
  
  Avoid changing critical project data after cost planning or postings unless necessary.
  Implement proper change management and authorization controls for project master data.

  SAP Notes / Documentation:

  Integration Points:
  
  This message often appears in scenarios where Project System (PS) integrates with Sales and Distribution (SD) or Customer Service (CS).
  Changes in project assignment can trigger recalculation of costs that flow into sales documents or billing.
  
  
  
  
  Summary:
  
  Cause: Customer Project data changes after initial cost calculation.
  Effect: System recalculates costs to reflect updated project information.
  Action: Review and verify recalculated costs, adjust documents if needed, and ensure proper change management.
